| My 1st visit to the only Brentwood pub that features in the 2016 GBG and obviously one I had to tick. 3 of us arrived just before 6.45pm and with only an hour before kick off down the road we forced 3 quick pints down. The pub is almost open plan with no doors between the bars but 2 separate serving areas at the bar, the larger side was pretty busy while the smaller side that houses a tv and dart board was empty. 5 hand pumps with 5 ales on, I opted for Brentwood Breweries Marvellous Maple Mid @ 4.2%, a fairly potent drop even though it’s only at session abv. Lots of chatter at the bar area between the barman and regulars, the interior is a bit tired looking but it works and gives the pub a homely feel to it. I liked the Rising Sun but I have to mention the strange smell in the smaller bar area, smelled like a cross between blocked drains & stale beer. lezford - 19 May 2016 13:43 |

| Not a bad little pub. Friendly, quick service and the pint of Brentwood Mild was satisfactory if nothing special. A few stares from what I assume to be the regulars at the bar, but in a curious rather than an aggressive way. ace1973 - 31 Aug 2010 15:58 |
| This pub is a real intimate little place, it is like drinking in someone's living room. Fairly welcoming though I guess it is dominated by regulars. Real ale range is quiet good, though I am not entirely convinced on the quality which sometimes seems to be lacking. I noticed it is in the Good Beer Guide, but for my money they need to improve a bit. The pub is worth the 5-min walk from the high st though. elpescado - 14 May 2009 18:58 |
